Do they still require you to buy a trailer from them to sign on?
Just curious cause I looked at them a few years back. The recruiting guy told me I had to buy a trailer from them in order to sign on. I explained to him that I allready owned one and wouldn't need to buy but he said I could always just park the one I own if I wanted. Lol. No thanks by. And I hung up. They kept pestering me for several months after.

Are you sure it wasnt trailer rental? They would do it that way if the did a lot of drop and hook. I would have hung up too. I would keep an eye on the rods and mains and consider doing them at 650k. Mine looked pretty crappy at 800k.

You forgot to say that you wanted to bring it by Rawze's house and have him pick on it and find all its problems BEFORE hauling freight with it lol.

It's probably only me, but I shudder when I hear frame lengthening. In the 8 years I've owned my '09 (since new), I keep wondering how much extra fuel I've burned because of the frame being too long.
